Whether you need a little support or a lot, our Home Care Packages team loves helping community members to continue to enjoy life at home. One of our valued clients, Lois, recently celebrated her 90th birthday. She lives with her daughter Cheryl and enjoys a good cuppa and a scone or two!
Three years ago, during the lockdown, Lois experienced a stroke and had to be hospitalised. Without visitors and limited recovery in hospital, Cheryl decided to bring her mother back home and contacted Merri Health for support.
"Merri Health took care of everything," Cheryl recalls. "They explained all the available services, and Mum received the help she needed, from physiotherapy to speech therapy and more, to support her recovery."
Cheryl adds, “She has a better quality of life at home, surrounded by her loved ones, her animals, and all the familiar things she cherishes.”
Since returning home, Lois has thrived in her rehabilitation, with the support of her two cats and Merri Health’s coordinated health and home services.
“This is Mum’s home. She has her chickens in the backyard, a beautiful garden – everything she loves. Thanks to Merri Health, we’re able to keep Mum here, with all the support she needs.”
